Soak up as much as grease as you can with absorbent paper towels. Try to blot instead of wipe so you don't spread the grease around.

Vinegar can work in a pinch, but it won't work as well as traditional dish soap.

Absolutely! Dish soap is a degreaser and is safe to use linoleum, vinyl, ceramic, and similarly strong flooring.
